Author Topic: Things you think of at 3 am at work... Don Cross Film Handler Posts: 97 From: Charleston, WV, USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 02-21-2005 07:57 PM                     Let me make this revision to the earlier postings on this thread... How many people are actually able to clearly think at that time in the morning; without operating in some type of mindless automatic drone mode?  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 02-21-2005 09:40 PM                     um....when I worked @ AMC, staying till 3am happened quite a bit. Especially when movies come out on Midnight (LOTR:ROTK comes to mind), I was there until 4:15ish....plus is something breaks or the shit hits the fan on buildup. and Could I put a really small LED or LCD panel in front of the reader (Dolby, DTS, or SDDS) and write a program to display the data to get the sound I want? <--- this was a 3:45am question  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Friends and I would go to the local Denny's and gossip about the other theatre workers. And our plot to take over the world one theatre at a time.  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-25-2005 09:48 AM                     Jen-- You've been hanging around Will too long!  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Posts: 1168 From: Corpus Christi, TX United States Registered: Jan 2004 posted 02-25-2005 10:36 AM                     At 3 am I think why the hell am I at work still. If I had just called in sick like the voices in my head told me to, I’d be getting drunk/laid right now…what the hell was that! Did someone just walk by? Hey! Who’s there? Oh well, guess it was nobody..i cant believe I let them trick me into working today. I have to think of a way to get them back. They’ll learn not to do that…what the? Now I know I saw something. Hello? Who’s there? Is it the ghost of Christmas past? If it is, I have a bone to pick with you!! (Silence). Yeah, that’s what I thought!...Why the hell hasn’t my girlfriend called, isn’t she worried about me? I hope she’s not out messing around while I’m here working like a crazy person, cuz that’ll piss me off. I should call her. Where the hell is my phone? Damnit, I think I left it in the back of the concession. I bet the cleaning crew took it and they’re probably looking at all my pictures and calling people. Damn, I hate them. Always staring at me, and stealing nachos. Who do they think they are? I can do a better job then them. Aahhh c’mon! why don’t they let us know ahead of time if there is going to be a fade in on a new reel. I’m just gonna cut it here, the stupid customers wont know the difference. But I will, damnit, I guess I’ll cut here instead. This sucks, and all these damn reels are tails. I hate it when they do that. I should get a raise for this. If I had a raise, I could have a better car, and I wouldn’t miss work so much, but does management think of that, no, they only think of themselves and letting their friends watch movies for free. Damn, I hate them too. finally, last reel. I’ll just let this run, while I start shutting things off…whoa, what was that!! hey, I saw you this time. Juan, why do you always sneak up here and try and scare me? is that my phone? Who did you call on it? Nobody? Yeah right, damn liar. Go get me some nachos!!  |  IP: Logged Don Cross Film Handler Posts: 97 From: Charleston, WV, USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 02-26-2005 02:27 AM                     quote: Jeremy Fuentes i cant believe I let them trick me into working today Watch out for the infamous...

But, more importantly: Who was the first guy who decided to squeeze a cow's back end then drink whatever came out? You'd also have to be one HUNGRY S.O.B. to be the first guy in the world to eat a lobster! And, CHEESE!? Roquefort cheese? Limburger cheese? What kind of idiot would squeeze a cow's ass, take whatever came out, let it sit in a dark cave until it turned green and THEN try to eat it!? One BALLSY Mofo! Now, you've got lobster, milk and cheese. What kind of RETARD would put them all together, in a pot, bake it in the oven (lobster bisque) then try to EAT it!? Just the SMELL of lobster cooking makes me want to heave my guts out! (Literally!) Milk? Gives me the screaming shits! Explosive Diarrhea! (Not kidding!) Why the FUCK would I want to eat that?! I'd be puking and shitting my guts out for the rest of the night!! That's the kind of shit I think about at 03:00!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-01-2005 01:17 AM                  Randy, your post has me ROTFL!
